What Zhou Weiguo said was not just to comfort a few people, but it was true. The attack on Tianjin was such an important thing. How could the independent division only have three brigades? They were just arranged separately to avoid leaks of information. The Japanese were all-pervasive.
, and also forced the independent division to be cautious.
"yes!"
"Master! Master! Japs were found twenty miles ahead! A large number of Japs! Tens of thousands of them!" A soldier ran over and spoke.
Zhou Weiguo narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the Japanese were not satisfied with defense. "The tank brigade will be in front for a while. Concentrate the attack formation and crush them! Artillery brigade, fire support! One brigade, two brigade and three brigade, follow behind the tank brigade.
Son, drive out the Japanese!"
"yes!"
"If you want to fight in the wild, then fight in the wild!"
"yes!"
…
Tada Shun has also arrived near the suburbs, which is only twenty miles away from the independent division. This twenty-mile journey can be reached in ten or twenty minutes by car.
"Your Excellency, Commander, since the independent division is already in front, what about us?" a Japanese lieutenant general asked, "Are we going to fight directly?"
"Of course!" Tada Shun nodded, "The tank troops will take the lead in a while, and the artillery troops will provide fire support! I'm afraid, the independent division will also fight head-on!"
"Hi!"
"We, the warriors of the Empire of Japan, are definitely not as simple as the independent divisions think. In this battle, we will stop the main force of the independent divisions here and let them fail here! We, the warriors of the Empire of Japan, are the most powerful warriors in the world.
Unparalleled soldier, no one else!"
"Hi!"
Tada Shun's words aroused the morale of the generals present. In the war with the independent division, although they lost more than they won, it did not mean that they would definitely give up!
"Yoshi, let's go!"
"Hi!"
Looking at the people who were now full of morale, Tada Jun lowered his eyes. He knew that the independent division must have been fully prepared for this attack, and it only took a few hours to hit Tianjin. He said that he was not prepared.
No one believed it. But he had no choice. The one in front was the apparent main force of the Independent Division. There was no city wall in Tianjin and it had been demolished decades ago. Therefore, there was no danger to defend and he never thought about the Independent Division.
They will really attack Tianjin. But what benefit will capturing Tianjin bring to the Independent Division? Tianjin is so close to Manchukuo and close to the sea. Will the Independent Division give up after conquering it?
"Forget it, don't think about it. If you break the troops in front, your life will be in vain."
Then, a dozen tanks drove past Tada Jun's eyes. Yes, a dozen tanks. Tianjin has tanks, but they are not many. And their tanks are not enough to see in front of the independent division's tanks. This point
, they have known it for a long time. As for this time, can they really defeat the independent division? I am afraid that only the soldiers will be deceived. The higher-ups all know that this time, they are to inspire the warriors in other parts of the Japanese Empire.
Only with confidence will you do this.
The twenty-mile road, judging from the speed of both sides, was simply a small distance. When the order for the two sides to go out was given, the tanks on both sides met quickly.
"Commander! The number of Chinese tanks is far greater than ours!" Inside a tank, a Japanese soldier said to their commander.
The commander's eyes were uncertain. To be honest, he didn't want to die, but under the current situation, they seemed to have to die, "Ya Lu! So what! Our Empire of Japan conquered Tianjin a few years ago and ruled like this
For a long time, now the Chinese want to take it back, how can it be so easy! Listen to my order and attack!"
"Hi!"
On a small plain, more than a dozen Japanese tanks collided with more than 300 tanks of the Independent Division. The outcome is inevitable. Those who are stubborn and unrepentant will eventually be punished.
This is an encounter and a field battle. There are not many twists and turns, only face-to-face strength. Tada Shun has a death wish, and the top leaders of the two divisions know it. He hopes that with his death, he can
Arousing the entire Japan's attention to the independent division can inspire the Japanese army to forge ahead.
"Attack!" Soldiers from the independent division's tank brigade controlled the fire. The target was a Japanese tank!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The sound of firing, as well as the explosion after the shells flew out, resounded throughout the earth for a while.
"Attack!" The Japanese tanks also opened fire. However, even if their shells hit the tanks of the Independent Division, they only caused slight scratches. With a "Boom!", the Japanese tank was hit and the shells penetrated directly.
The front armor was destroyed, and the huge explosion killed all the Japanese soldiers in the tank. Then came the blazing fire, which was very bright even in the daytime. The fire, black smoke, and the destroyed tank.
"Ya Lu!" The Japanese colonel who was following the tank not far away saw the tank in front being hit, and then hundreds of shells were fired towards their temporary fortifications. "Everyone, pay attention to defense!"
"Fire! Attack!" Seeing that all the Japanese tanks had been hit, the tank brigade also rushed forward without any scruples. In their eyes, the Japanese temporary fortifications in front were nothing at all. They were just sandbags.
It fell down as soon as it hit.
…
"Yalu, are you okay?" A Japanese commander kept urging his soldiers, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Didn't you see the situation on the battlefield?"
"Captain, two more minutes!" A major had no choice but to persuade from the side. In order to attack the tanks of the independent division, they gathered together the anti-tank guns from the two divisions and the Tianjin warehouse.
In order to attack in groups.
"Baga! Hurry up!"
"Hi!" Of the two divisions that followed Tada Shun into battle today, only one division had an artillery regiment. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, Tada Jun concentrated all artillery on this regiment, including all anti-tank regiments.
gun.
However, in this era, the Japanese army was mostly equipped with 20mm anti-tank machine guns or 37mm anti-tank guns. The tanks equipped by the independent divisions were mostly Soviet T-34 and German Tiger tanks. The T-34 tank
The armor has an inclined angle, and the frontal armor of the Tiger is 102 mm thick. The small-caliber anti-tank gun equipped by the Japanese army is not enough to look good in front of the tanks equipped by the independent division.
"Your Excellency, Captain, you have been fully equipped, please give your instructions!"
"Yoshi, target, China tank group, fire! Attack!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
More than a dozen anti-tank guns fired at the same time. At the same time, the infantry guns, mountain guns, and field guns on the other side also started firing. The shells flew out, and white smoke spread out from the gun barrels.
The Japanese colonel kept observing with a telescope. What he wanted to see was that the tank group of the independent division stopped its progress or was even destroyed under the bombardment.
"Keep firing!"
…
The shells fell among the tanks. Some shells landed on the tanks, while others were directly bounced away.
